When Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay, collectively known as The IInspiration, didn’t debut during Grand Slam Australia, it appeared the rumors they were AEW-bound were false. However, during House Rules Australia, a live event in Brisbane, the duo have now made their debut against local competitors Frankie B and Aysha. As of writing, no official announcement has been made regarding their contract status, but it is believed they are signed after McKay took to X.com to declare herself “ALL ELITE BABY!!!“
Lee, formerly Peyton Royce in WWE, and McKay, formerly Billie Kay, began teaming in 2015 and soon rose to fame in WWE’s NXT as the IIconics. Released in 2020, they reformed as The IInspiration in TNA and, during two runs, captured the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles twice. Still, they departed TNA earlier this month after dropping the belts, leading to speculation that they were headed back to WWE or, more likely, AEW.
